    1.0 out of 5 stars Empire: Total War = EPIC FAIL, March 16, 2009
    = Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
    This review is from: Empire: Total War (DVD-ROM)
    (For the most recent comments see the updates)
    Let me begin by pointing out that I am a HUGE fan of the Total War series. I started with Rome, continued with the Barbarian Invasion, segueyed into Medieval II and the subsequent Kingdoms expansion. Needless to say, I was eagerly anticipating this game. I even bought a top of the line Mach V rig with all the bells and whistles and a 30in monitor to take in the beauty of it all. My machine has no problem handing the graphics settings on Ultra and I can tell you that visually, this game has the potential to be stunning (provided your computer is up to the task).

    Now the negative. The game comes with Steam software which introduces its own complications to the process of enjoying ones game. Granted that the auto-patching feature is pretty sweet, but almost everything else about this system is not (See other reviews here for more details). But thats not even the meat of my beef.

    2.0 out of 5 stars A Very Buggy Release, March 9, 2009
    = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
    This review is from: Empire: Total War (DVD-ROM)
    EDIT (April 5th, 2009): Like many others, my opinion of this game has gone down with time. I only ever made it through one short campaign, which only lasted a few days, and I have now uninstalled it. The more time I spent with it, the more glitches and bugs I came across, to the point where it just wasn't fun any more. They've released a number of patches, but these only addressed the Crash-To-Desktop issues which many people had, and which didn't affect me too much (the game REALLY was not released in an acceptable state). If they ever fix it up it will be a superb game, but there's a LOT to do. Be warned that for now the fun has FAR less staying power than the last two Total War games, Rome and Medieval II.
    *************
    I've been a loyal follower (and buyer!) of Total War since the first Medieval. Unfortunately, this game, in its current state, is more a step back than forward. Still, I would give it a 3.5 or 4, but when you take STEAM into consideration, 2 stars is the... Read more

    Bugged up to the point of unplayable. And it is clear after reading several HUNDRED posts at the Total War fan site that this game was never finished in development much less Beta tested. I am just afraid that it may never be done and will end up like Medieval II: never really finished and several major features left in the air.

    I have been thinking about this now for a few weeks and at first I thought, well these guys just do not have the resources and money to finish building the game and must wait until after they have sold a few tens of thousands of copies before they have the cash to pay to get the job done. But now I think that they have moved on to other things and will finish a few of the most severe problems and just let the game go. I don;t know if this influence of almost criminal fraud comes from the Saga people or from some 'new' management ...but in my state ( California, USA ) a vendor who knowingly sells defective product is considered a criminal. If they... Read more
